The queen is crazy and spoiled, and the tyrant bows to her

Jiang Wantang lowered her head slightly, her long eyelashes like crow feathers casting a shadow on her eyelids.

She said, "After this is done, could Your Majesty hand Jiang Huaizhou over to me?"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will never let him..."

Before she finished speaking, Ji Wuyuan smiled and raised his hand to touch the top of her head. Without any hesitation, he said, "Okay."

Jiang Wantang raised her head and looked at him blankly, feeling sad and bitter in her heart.

Seeing that she was silent, Ji Wuyuan wanted to help her up, but she still refused.

"Tang'er..."

Ji Wuyuan's tone was low and gentle, with a helpless sigh.

"If you have anything else to say, feel free to say it."

"You know, it's hard for me to refuse you."

Jiang Wantang was silent for a moment, then took out the blank imperial edict from his sleeve.

She took a deep breath, suppressed the bitterness in her heart, and said, "I... do have one thing to ask of you."

Ji Wuyuan's eyes darkened when he saw her take out the imperial edict.

He held Jiang Wantang's wrist and whispered, "If Tang'er wants something, just tell him directly. There's no need to bring out this imperial edict."

"This time, it's different..." Jiang Wantang bit her lip, feeling a rawness in her throat.

Ji Wuyuan's hand froze noticeably, then slowly loosened.

Jiang Wantang was so immersed in her own complicated thoughts that she didn't notice that Ji Wuyuan's phoenix eyes were dark at this moment.

Jiang Wantang raised the imperial edict with both hands, opened her red lips, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask for an order to reinstate Xie Zhiyan to his original position and return him to the Xie clan."

Although her words were calm and each word was emotionless, the expression on Ji Wuyuan's face became uglier and uglier.

The hall suddenly became dead silent.

Ji Wuyuan remained silent, his eyes lowered to the bright yellow imperial edict held in Jiang Wantang's hands, the look in his eyes was dark and unclear.

She actually used the things he gave her for Xie Zhiyan?!

If Xie Zhiyan had been wishful thinking before and Jiang Wantang was indifferent to him, he could still barely convince himself to ignore it.

But now?

Xie Zhiyan, such a cold and self-respecting man, gave up his official position and left his clan for her...

Would she remain indifferent knowing all this?

Thinking of this, Ji Wuyuan clenched his fists.

Seeing Ji Wuyuan hesitate to speak, Jiang Wantang called out, "Your Majesty..."

Seeing Jiang Wantang begging him for another man, Ji Wuyuan felt as if his heart was burning with fire, bringing him an indescribable burning pain.

With the previous experience as a lesson, in order to prevent the relationship between the two people, which had just eased, from falling into freezing point again, Ji Wuyuan gritted his teeth and endured it.

After a long silence, he finally spoke in a hoarse voice: "Reason?"

"Tang'er, give me a reason to fulfill his wish..."

"I want to hear the truth."

Jiang Wantang raised her eyes, and in the clear and moist arc of light, there was calmness.

"Xie Zhiyan sacrificed his life to protect me and showed me great kindness. I recently learned that he resigned from his post and left the clan. I feel guilty and want to repay this kindness."

"besides......"

As she spoke, she looked at Ji Wuyuan, her eyes fixed on him. "Your Majesty is ill now and should not be burdened with any more work. It is most appropriate to leave the task of eliminating the Nangong clan's rebels to him."

All of Ji Wuyuan's negative emotions just now almost disappeared at this moment.

He asked uncertainly, "Just to repay a favor?"

Jiang Wantang stared at Ji Wuyuan, and immediately realized what he was worried about.

She paused, her eyes looking serious as she replied, "Well, it's just to repay a favor."

"Just for this reason, there is no other reason."

"I know that Your Majesty may be unhappy with me doing this, but everything I have now was given by Your Majesty."

"This favor is too great for me to repay. I can only ask Your Majesty for help."

Jiang Wantang's last few words completely resolved Ji Wuyuan's resentment about her using the things he gave her to Xie Zhiyan.

Ji Wuyuan was very pleased that she chose to take the initiative to talk to him when she had something to say.

He stared straight at Jiang Wantang and for a moment forgot to react.

Seeing that he remained silent, Jiang Wantang looked somewhat gloomy, "Your Majesty, you don't believe me?"

"letter."

Ji Wuyuan answered almost without hesitation, his tone more firm than ever before.

Jiang Wantang looked at him, his eyes stunned for a moment.

Ji Wuyuan looked at her pair of watery and clear peach blossom eyes, and couldn't help but lean over and kiss her, and then to her lips.

Jiang Wantang subconsciously closed his eyes and clenched his hands.

Ji Wuyuan originally just wanted to give her a light kiss, but as soon as he touched her, his whole senses were immersed in her soft and sweet taste, unable to extricate himself.

He wanted more...

Ji Wuyuan's kiss became more and more deeply indulged. He raised his hand to clasp Jiang Wantang's neck and slowly brought her into his arms with a loving and affectionate posture.

But because he was injured, Jiang Wantang didn't even dare to push him away. She could only clench her hands tightly, press them against his chest, and passively endure his passionate kiss.

A not-so-gentle kiss, with a hint of bitter medicine, spread between their lips and teeth.

.......

On that day, Ji Wuyuan issued an edict to the world, allowing Xie Zhiyan to reinstate his original post, return to the Dali Temple to report, and be included in the Xie family genealogy.

The whole capital was in uproar.

The happiest ones among them were the Xie family members in Yong'an Marquis Mansion and the second son of Zhao, Zhao Yi, who was in Xunhuan Tower.

At this time, Xie Zhiyan, accompanied by Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, had just returned to the capital, exhausted.

Almost at the moment he received the imperial edict, Xie Zhiyan knew that it was Jiang Wantang who took action.

When Zhang Long and Zhao Hu heard the contents of the imperial edict with their own ears, the two grown men hugged each other excitedly, their eyes red and tears welling up.

After the excitement subsided, Zhao Hu wiped his face fiercely and said with a sob, "Your Majesty is so righteous!"

"He must still be thinking of the childhood friendship they had growing up together, and he couldn't bear to see his precious pearl go unnoticed."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Long stopped wiping his tears, and the tears that had just welled up disappeared.

Looking at Zhao Hu's shameful and stupid look, he gritted his teeth and resisted the urge to hit him.

What a fool!

How could it be His Majesty? It's clearly...

Xie Zhiyan took the imperial edict with a calm expression, but his fingertips tightened slightly as he held it.

Now, who else but her can make Ji Wuyuan let go of the past grudges?

Xie Zhiyan didn't say anything. After receiving the imperial edict, he immediately mounted his horse and went into the palace to report.

Imperial Palace, inside Taiji Palace.

Jiang Wantang half-leaned on the red railing, quietly looking at the gray sky outside, with a thoughtful expression.

Leng Mei hurried in from outside the palace and whispered to Jiang Wantang, "Your Majesty, Master Xie has entered the palace."

"I am currently discussing important matters with His Majesty in the Xuanzheng Hall."

Jiang Wantang nodded slightly and didn't say much.

She believed that Xie Zhiyan would understand her plan without her having to say anything.
